One reason that I love Skylanders so much is the unique designs of each and every character. There are well over 200 different characters that have been made into fully realized toys. The company designed and made these characters and toys with backstories on each one, too. They were perfect for the video game and also cartoons and comic books. The game should really have kept going but it ended up being cancelled with the 6th iteration of the game. At the time there were many other Toys to Life games out there. Then they all just stopped.
We took Andrew along with us on our morning walk. He doesn’t usually go with us but I figured that he should get a little outdoor time this morning. It was a great morning to walk, too. It was so nice and cool. Some mornings this Summer have been really hot really early but not today. Today it was finally cool and made for great walking weather, especially while wearing masks.
We walked around Capron Park a few times and there is this tree there that has a face on it. This is a novelty item that someone must have put on the tree at some point. I think I noticed it only a month into our walking. Now I see it all the time. The tree that it is on has an almost hollow bottom and I don’t expect it to withstand another major wind storm, but it may surprise me. We noticed a very colorful mushroom growing on the back side of the tree and stopped to identify it with an app that Allison has. I then thought to have Andy pose with the tree. While at first glance it does look like he is pointing with his middle finger, he is not. I myself had to zoom in to make sure that wasn’t the case.
Andy’s enjoyed having us to himself this past week. While he certainly misses his big sister he’s shown a lot of maturity around the house. I made sure to tell him, too.
